First line doesn't appear as column name

[a11dre]

Hello,

I made this table in excel and the first line doesn't appear as column name!

ID	Total	Nome	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019
1	15 938,77 €	Santos	6 956,03 €	6 185,33 €	2 639,77 €	157,64 €	0,00 €
2	23 969,78 €	Matel	14 801,37 €	1 184,78 €	3 462,93 €	3 440,94 €	1 079,76 €
3	6 443,72 €	Lenos	2 485,38 €	1 968,51 €	1 989,83 €	0,00 €	0,00 €
4	6 248,91 €	Léctrica	2 362,47 €	2 122,87 €	1 763,57 €	0,00 €	0,00 €
5	7 474,81 €	Nunes	1 035,65 €	1 469,78 €	2 087,52 €	1 107,33 €	1 774,53 €

Can you help me with that?

This never happened to me and usually it was doing that... Now it never does 😞

Thank you for your time

Go to "Transform Data"

In the home tab under Transform click on "Use First Row as Headers"

@a11dre , Can you remove data formatting while brining data to power bi. because seems like it is treating everything as text. You have the same format option in power bi. After you upgrade to March 2020 release with office ribbon, you may find them under tab as excel.

Another option is to go to the data transformation/ Edit query and make the first row as a header.

Also, you need to unpivot the data, for better analysis. All the year columns

Hi @a11dre ,

You could insert it as a table in Excel and then import into Power BI. Or you could try using the first row as a header in Power Query that the users above suggests.

If these can't work, can you please share a few screenshots? Then we will understand clearly.
